Two boats leave a port at the same time, one going north and the other traveling south. the northbound boat travels 18 mph faster than the southbound boat. if the southbound boat is traveling at 40 mph, how long will it be before they are 980 miles apart?

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boats rate = 40 + 58 = 98 mph (this means they are apart 98 km after one hour)

Total distance = 980 miles

Total rate = 98 mph
